WORCESTER -- The Fitchburg State men's soccer team raced out to a 2-0 lead over host Worcester State on Saturday behind the strength of a first-half goal by Matthew Krikorian and an own goal by the Lancers.

The hosts rallied from there, however, getting one goal from Andre Ipojuca and two more from freshman Dillon Pooler for the come-from-behind 3-2 victory.

Fitchburg State's (3-3, 0-2 MASCAC) Alex Al-Zaibak made five saves in the defeat, while Worcester State (4-2, 2-0 MASCAC) goalie Jason Barrett finished with four stops. Nolan Brassard, of Leominster, led the Falcons with three shots on goal.

Fitchburg State will resume play at home against Newbury College on Wednesday.
